You get the reduced GCD only while Shadowblades is active with the 4p T15.

In before every PvP Rogue out there walks PvE 4set. 11 GCD's with time to spare in a dance? That's insanity.

Alright, I made an energy scheme for the lowest posseble energy to start bursting like this, taking into account the fact that eviscerate requires energy to cast even though it ends up rewarding energy.

Ending Shadow Dance sequence with 1 Energy.

Now take into account that Ambush does about 70k damage on average, and Eviscerate about 90k.. that comes down to a whopping 900k Damage in just 7.7 seconds. If you get even 1 more Crit than you should, you're going to look at the millions.

- it remains unnoticed by the masses, so not much damage (very unlikely)
- everyone gets this info, everyone tries it and it proves to be effective, hellanerf to the ground for the set bonus (hoping for a PvP only nerf like the FW one).

Nerdrage and screams in both of the cases.

I'm just surpised no one has really noticed it other than people that have the gear,

Stop talking lies Holo, 70k average ambush and 90k average eviscerate? Where have you seen them? Are you doing PvP with people who have bad PvE gear?

How much do you get in a normal dance? Please remember you can pool higher with the pvp bonus.

Then we'll want to adjust for the PvP power lost. That will involve removing gloves, shoulders, and then likely pants and chest.

Not even a Shield Wall is going to save you from this one.

Wouldn't it? I mean, remember resil really cuts this down!

This is worrying... to say the least.

Maybe. I would definitely recommend bringing 535 if you have it. But are you seeing rogues doing this? And do you think you will in 5.3, with the gear shrunk down to 496?

Those avg dmg numbers seem little high for our low crit, the find weakness nerf, and the pvp loss using 4 piece pve. But yes still a lot dmg once every 3mins and weak dmg anytime outside of that. On top of the weak mobility with shadowstep not getting peeled during blades be very unlikely. Also Its funny holinka is acting like shadowstep mobility is on power with all other melee mobility. Shadowstep needs double charges or 15sec cd.
